Sometimes a gentle exfoliator is not enough, like after a sunburn and when your face starts peeling. Sometimes you need something with a little more oomph to it. When I needed that oomph, I dug around my beauty bins (I’ll show you those soon) and found a sample I received of Lierac’s Micro-Abrasion Exfoliating Smoothing Cream. This exactly what I needed and this is why it is my Beauty VIP of the week!

This product contains alumina crystals to exfoliate. The crystals are not sharp enough to be harsh, just enough that they slough dead skin away with a more intensity than other exfoliators. With a little pressure while you’re massaging the product on the skin, you have great results without cutting up your skin. It also has a good dose urea to moisturize skin. I’m loving the creamy consistency of this product, any time I can exfoliate and moisturize my skin at the same time, I’m game!
